In 1928 he was elected as County Judge of Lee County.

H.F., Schlosshan
Candidate For Nomination As

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SIXTY-EIGHT DISTRICT
COMPOSED OF LEE AND BURLESON COUNTIES

Subject to the Democratic Primaries July 22, 1916

YOUR VOTE AND GOOD WILL SOLICITED.

I was born and reared in Campbell County, East Tennessee, February 18th., 1887. My father was a farmer and it took us twelve months in the year to make a crop. I taught school about eight years in Tennessee and continued that profession for about eight years in Texas after coming here twenty-three years ago. Was a member of thirtieth legislature in 1907, after which I took a law course in the State University, and am practicing what little of that profession comes my way.

In announcing for this office, I would respectfully call attention to the fact that when the next legislature meets it will have been ten years since Lee County sent a man there from her own borders, whereas, formerly, Lee and her sister county alternated in sending a representative. I am not alone in the belief that she is entitled to that honor now.

Having been a member of a former legislature, I believe the experience would enable me to far better represent the people of my district than I could without that experience: and I here and now respectfully invite the closest inspection of my former record.

Generally speaking, I think we already have too much legislation, and that a member of the legislature can server his people quite as well by helping to kill bills as by passing them. In other words, I think that "that people is best governed who is least governed," still our present system is far short of perfection, and some corrective legislation is very much needed. One of the subjects most needed correction, the simplifying of our system of civil and criminal procedure in the courts. As it now is in many instances, it cost a nam more financially, than his legal rights amount to, to go into the courts and enforce said rights. I favour such changes in our procedure as will enable a citizen, say in middle life, to go into court and obtain accurate and conclusive results before he dies of old age. This reform is surely coming, and when it does, it will be largely thought the younger set of lawyer of the State.
